Intrusive Thoughts
We often associate intrusive thoughts with disorders like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, everybody has intrusive thoughts from time to time -- and they are also common in anxiety disorders.
Intrusive thoughts can be violent, sexual, or otherwise disturbing. They are repetitive, unwanted, and cause the person having these thoughts a lot of distress. Unfortunately, fighting intrusive thoughts only leads them to come back stronger.
Practicing exposure therapy, acceptance, and other psychotherapy techniques can help you learn to cope constructively with intrusive thoughts. Reach out to Life by Design Therapy today to learn how holistic therapy can help you overcome intrusive thoughts!
